🚨 Ingrown Toenail Trouble? Here’s Why It’s Time to Call the Pros (That’s Us 👣)

Let’s be honest — few things can throw off your day like a throbbing, red, angry big toe. Whether it’s rubbing in your shoe or just the sight of it makes you wince, an ingrown toenail has a way of ruining everything from your workouts to your weekends.

But here's the kicker:

It might not even be an ingrown toenail.
It could be a sneaky fungal infection, a bone spur, or something else entirely masquerading as an “ouchy nail.” That’s why guessing and Googling isn’t your best bet — getting a real diagnosis is the first step toward relief.


đź§Ş How We Treat Ingrown Toenails at The Center for Ankle and Foot Care

We see hundreds of ingrown toenails every year at our Clermont and Leesburg offices — from teens to grandparents, soccer stars to business pros.

Here’s how we fix them — fast:

✅ 1. The “Numb and Done” Procedure (Most Popular)

This is the go-to when you want permanent relief from that stubborn, repeat offender.

  • We gently numb your toe with local anesthesia.

  • Then we remove the painful edge of the nail.

  • We apply a medication to the nail root to prevent it from growing back in that corner — forever.

đź’Ą No stitches. No downtime. Most people leave feeling better than when they walked in.


🧲 2. The “No-Surgery” Option: ONYFIX Nail Correction System

This is a great option for patients (especially kids, teens, and needle-phobes) who:

  • Don’t want an injection

  • Have a recurring ingrown that’s not infected

  • Want to gently guide the nail back into a healthy shape

ONYFIX is a small brace-like strip we apply to the nail — no needles, no cutting, no downtime. It slowly reshapes the nail as it grows out.

🧑‍🔬 It's like orthodontics... for your toenail.

đź’° Insurance? Self-Pay? No Problem.

We accept most major insurances — but even if we’re out of network or your plan doesn’t cover it, the good news is:

  • Most ingrown toenail treatments are one visit

  • We have reasonable self-pay pricing and you can use an HSA card if we are not in network with your insurance

  • We’ll always be upfront about costs before anything is done

👣 Great foot care shouldn’t be a luxury. We keep it accessible and simple.


🚶‍♀️ Don’t Wait Until It’s Infected…

If your toe is red, swollen, draining, or just hurts when the wind blows — it’s time to book that appointment.

A quick visit can:

  • End the pain today

  • Prevent future infections

  • Rule out other conditions (like fungus or nail trauma)
